THE WAR NEWS.
CHA&LXSTON, April, 13.
Via Augusta.—Sumter baa surrendered. The Confederate flag floats orer its walla.
None of the garrison or Confederate troops are hurt. Two of Maj. Anderson's magazines exploded.
Oalj occasional sbota are fired from fort Moultrie. The Morris Island batteries are doing the heavy work.
It is thought that only the small magatines have exploded. The greatest excitement prevails.
The wharves, steeples and every available place is packed with people. The government ships are in the offing bnt have not aided Maj. Anderson.
It is too late now to come over the bar •s the tide is ebbing. The ships appear to be quietly at anchor. They have not fired a gun yet.
The entire roof of the barracks is one sheet of flame, shells from Cumming's Point and Moultrie are bursting in and over Sumter in quick succession.
The federal flag still waves. Maj. Anderson is only occupied in put
4 ting out fire. Every shot on fort Sumter now stems to tell severely. The people are anxiously looking for
Maj. Anderson to strike his flag. It is stated from a reliable source that up to 10 o'clock to day no one at Moultrie was killed.
Eleven shots from Sumter penetrated the floating battery beneath the water line. The few shot fired by Anderson early this morning knocked the chimney off the officer's quarter's at Fort Moultrie like a whirlwind.
Major. Anderson's only hope is to hold oat for aid from the ships. Two ships are making in towards Morris Island, with a view to land troops and ^-^.filence the battery there.
Fort Sumter is on fire. The flames are "raging all around it. Major Anderson has 'thrown out a raft filled with men, who are passing up buckets of water to extinguish the fire. The fort is scarcely discearnable.
The men on the raft arc now objects of fire from Morris Island. With glasses, balls can be seen skipping over the water striking the unprotected raft. Sad havoc is created among the poor fellows!
It i* surmised that Major Anderson is gradually blowing up the fort. He scarce* ly fires a gun.
At half past 11 flames were bursting from all the port holes. The destruction of Sumter is inevitable.
Four vessels, two of them large steamers, are in sight over the bar. The largest, appears to be engaging Morris Islaud
The flumes have nearly subsided in Sumter, but Major Auderson does not fire any guns.
Gen. Beauregard left the wharf just now iu a boat for Morris Island. I have read a letter from S. C. Boylston, dated Moultrie, 6 o'clook this A. M. Ho says uot one man was killed or wounded.
The rifled cannon of the battery did great execution on Sumte\ and were all aimed into Anderson's port holes.
Three of Sumter's barbette guns were dismounted, one of which was a 10-inch Columbiad.
A corner of Fort Sumter, opposite Moultrio, was knocked off. The steamers Water Witch, Mohawk and Pawuec, it is thought, were the three vessels seen in the offing.
Another correspondent says the bombardment has ceased. Major Anderson has drawn down the stars and stripes, and displayed a white flag, which has been answered from the eity, as a boat is on the way to Sumter.
The breaches made in Sumter are on the side opposite to Cumming's Point.— Two of its ports are knocked into one, and the wall from the top is crumbling.— Three vessels, one of them a large sized steamer, off the bar, and seem to be preparing to participate in the conflict. The fire of Morris Islaud and Moultrie in divided between Sumter and the ships of war. The ships have not yet opened.
The batteries of Sullivan's Island, Cummings Point aud Stevens' Point are pouring shot and shell into Fort Sumter.— Major Anderson does not return the fire Fort Sumter is still on fire. There has just been two explosions at Sumter.
The Federal flsg was again hoisted over Fort Sumter, when Poreher Miles with a flag of truce went to the Fort. In a few minutes the Federal flag was again drawn down by Major Anderson and the white flag again unfurled.
ANDERSON UNDER GUARD.
Gen. Beauregard has just gone to fort Sumter, also three fire companies to quench the fire before it reaches the magazines.
LATER.
Fort Sumter has been unconditionally surrendered. The people arc wild with joy. No Carolinians were hurt.
STILL LATER.
Two thousand shuts were fired at Sumter, Anderson and his men were conveyed to Morris Island under guard.
Major Anderson has reached the eity and is the guest of Gen. Beauregard. The people sympathize with Anderson bat abhor those in the steamers in sight who did not even attempt to rcinforcc him. The wood work and officers quarters of fort Sumter are all burned. No officers were wounded. The fort was taken possession of to-night.
INDIANAPOLIS,13.
The war news received here last night and to-day, produced the most intense excitement. A meeting of citizens was called for this evening at the Court House, bat the orowd was so large that not one quarter eould gain admittance. It was adjourned to Masonio and Metropolitan halls where two enthusiastic meetings were organized composed of all political parties. The halls w*re crowded to their utmost •apaeity. Union feeling waa universal.—
Tiaa of resolutions were adopted in aaalntainiog the Union and the glorious flag at all haswda. Tke moetfof
adjourned with nine chcers for the Union and the enforcement of the laws. Several volunteer companies in this city and different parts of the State have tendered their services to the governor. A salute of 34 guns for the Union and one for Maj. Anderson was fired this evening.
WASHINGTON, April 13.
The Commissioners from Virginia bad a pleasant interview with President Lincoln this morning. The result was simply a statement by the President that he will act according to the Inaugural programme —hold the public property and maintain the defensive. The President's reply was given in writing. It will be recollected that the Commissioners came here under instructions to respectfully ask the President to communicate to the Virginia State Convention the policy to be pursued in regard to the Confederate States.
An unprovoked assault has been made on Sumter and I shall repress it if I can, and I shall take the places which have been seized and shall to the best, of my ability use force if necessary. If the war news proves true I shall probably withdraw the troops from the seceded States and Bhall consider that the forts and property in those States yet belong to the U. S. and shall not collect duties by armed invasion. I do not mean however that I may not land a force to relieve the forts. He reaffirmed his inaugural, except about the mails.
MONTGOMERY, April 13.
The President has appointed L. Warren Morris Judge for the District of Louisiana.
Gen. Beauregard telegraphed to the Secretry of War late last night as follows: "There has been heavy firing all Friday. Four guns, of Fort Sumter have been dismounted. The Confederate batteries were all safe. Ncbody hurt. Four steamers were off the bar. The sea was quite rough."
Nothing of to-day'* date has been received by the War Department from Charleston.
WASHINGTON, April 13*
The reply of the President to the Virginia Commissioners repeats his purpose to hold, occupy and possess the property and places belonging to the Government, and collect the duties on imports, but. uot to use force except when necessary for his object.
IlAr- FAX, April 13.
The news of the bombardment caused profound sensation. The Legislature passed a resolution that they had heard with deep sorrow and regret of the war among their neighbors, nid, without expressing an opinion prayers were offered for a reconciliation.
NASHVILLE, April 13.
There is much enthusiasm At a public meeting to night resolutions were unanimously adopted condeming the Administration for the present statu of affairs and sympathising with the Southerns.
MEMPHIS. April 13.
There is great excitcmont here. The people are gathnriDg together in great crowds.
Firing of canuoti, rockets, bonfires and music is the order of (he evening. The Adjutant General's office wa* crowded this forenoon with officers of the State militia, offering their commands to the Government.
Au intense feeling has been aroused. Gov. Andrew leavos for Washington this afternoon.
NEW ORLEANS, 13.
A grand muster of the city volunteer companies was made this morning. Preparations are being made to defend the Mississippi in the best posiblc manner.
NEW YORK, April 13.
The Government is said to have chartered the steamships Philadelphia and Ericcson. The former is being rapidly filled with provisions, army stores and munitions of war. The latter is to be held in reserve for any emergency.
PHILADELPHIA, April 13.
War news rampant. People are incredulous about the Sumter news. Two regiments will be ready to march in a few days.
MONTGOMERY1, April 13.
Chambers arrived bringing Lieutenant Worden, of the Federal Navy as a prison er of war from Pensacola. He was bearer of dispatches.
LANCASTER, PA., April 13.
The Stars and Stripes are displayed in honor of Anderson. Volunteers arc being enrolled.
BOSTON, March 13.
Intense excitement prevails. The surrender is not believed by many. CHARLESTON, April 13. Firing was kept up all night on Sumter at intervals of 20 miuutes.
Major Anderson ceased firing from Ft. Sumter at about six o'clock in the evening. All night he was ingaged in repairing damages, and protecting the barbette guns.
He commenced to return the fire at 7 oclock this moruing. Fort Sumter seems to be greatly disabled.
The battery on Cumming's Point does great damage. A dense smoke poured out of Sumter at 9 A. M.
The federal flag is at half mast, signaling distress. The shells from Fort Moultrie and the baterics on Morris Island fall into Major Anderson's strongest bold thick and fast and they can be seen in their course from the Charleston batteries.
CHARLESTON, April 13.
The firing has ceased and an unconditional surrender has been made. The Carolinians generally are surprised that the fight is over.
Soon after the flag staff was shot over. Wigfall was sent by Beauregard to Sumtor with a white flay to offer assistance to snhdoo the flames. Ho was met bj Maj. Anderson, who said ho had j«st displayed
a white flag but the batteries had not stopped firing. Wigfall replied that Anderson must haul down the American flag.
Maj. Anderson then hauled the 1 down. Several of Gen. Beauregard a staff came over and stir ulated that the surrender be unconditional for the present, subject to the terms of Gen. Beauregard.
Maj. Anderson was allowed to remain in actual possession at present. CHARLESTON, 14.
Negotiations were commenced last night. 3Iaj. Anderson's command will evacuate in the morning, aid embark on the war vessels now off the bar.
Five of Anderson's men were wounded Three are thought mortally. After the surrender a boat was sent from a ship of war outside, to Morris Island requesting permission for the vessel to enter and takeoff Anderson's command.
It is reported Anderson's surrender was because bis quarters and barracks were destroyed and he had no hope of reinforcement.
The fleet lay for 30 hours and could not or would not help him. His men were prostrated by over exertion.
The explosions heard at Sumter were caused by a lot of shells which ignited in the barracks and caused the fire.
Everything is in ruin but the casemates. Many guns were dismounted. The walls look like honey comb. Fort Moultrie is badly damaged and the houses on the island are badly riddled.
A boat from the fort to-night officiallynotified the fleet of the surrender of Fort Sumter.
It is not known what will be done with Fort Sumter, or the vanquished. WASHINGTON, April 14.
In Mr. Lincoln's reply to the commissioners from Virginia, after expressing regret that the public mind is still uncertain as to his course he reaffirmed the policy marked out in his inaugural address and said, but if as it now appears it is true the South is engaged in a purpose to drive the U. S. authorities from tbeir rightful places and an unprovoked assault has been made upon Sumter, I shall hold myself at liberty to repossess like places, which have been seized before the government was involved, or in any event I shall try tho best of my ability to repel force by force, iu case it proves true that Sumter has been assaulted as is reported, I shall perhaps cause the U. S. mails to be withdrawn from the States which claim to have seceded, believing that the commencement of actual war against the government justifies and possibly demands it. Whatever else I may do for the purpose, I shall not a'tcmpt to collect the duties on imports by force in any part of the country, not meaning by this however, that I may not land a force if deemed uecessary to relieve a fort upon the borders of the counfrv.
Arrangements have been made to eonccntrate the military at any threatened point.
1
The greatest anxiety is manifested to hear further Southern news. It is rumored that au attack will be attempted on fort Delaware in Md.
The war department has taken steps to prevent it. Five officers of the navy tendered their resignation and they were refused.
Their names will probably be striken from the list. The national volunteers passed resolutions denouncing the militarjr operations of the government, and expressing their sytnpa'hy with the secessionists.
The guards at the departments have been largely increased. COLUMBUS, Ohio, 14.
Adjutant General Carrington, has just issued orders for carrying into effect the military law just enacted by the General Assembly, and providing 6,000 regular militia besides a reserve force of not less than 35,000 men to be subjcct to immediate transfer into the regular force.
The regular militia has been organized into 35 regiments which upon a war basis would make 35,000 men.
On Saturday his office was thronged by persons eagerly inquiring for the news and offering their services irrespective of party in support of the general government.

WASHINGTON, 14.
The President's proclamation says Whereas, The laws of the United States have been and are now opposed in several States by combinations too powerful to be suppressed in the ordinary way, I therefore call forth the militia of the several States of the Union to the aggregate number of 75,000 to suppress said combinations and exccute the laws. I appeal to all loyal citizens to facilitate and aid this eifort to maintain the laws and the integ rity of the National Union and the perpetuity of popular government, and redress wrongs that have been long endured. The first service assigned the forces will be to repossess tho forts, placcs and propcity that have been seized from the Union.— The utmost care will be taken consistent with the object to avoid devastation aud destruction or interference with property of peaceful citizens in any part of the country, and I hereby command persons composing the aforesaid combinations to disperse within twenty days from date.— I hereby convene both Houses of Congress for the Fourth of July next to determine upon measures which the public safety and interest demands.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The secessionists replied applauding, the gallantry of South Carolina, and claimed that whatever the Convention did the State would go out of the Union.
The Governor communicated a dispatch from Governor Pickens giving an account of the bombardment of Sumter:
There ia a furious fire from Sumter, bat we will take the Fort and eaa sink the fleet. If aa attenpt ia wde to land elsewhere, wo eaa whip thia. Wo have

seven thousand of the best troops in the world, and a reserve of ten thousand.— We will triumph or perish! Let me know what Virginia will do."
In the debate it was said the Southern army would march through Virginia and thousands would join it
Lincoln's reply to the Virginia commissioners is decidedly unsatisfactory to the republicans and democrats. The former tbink it is not decided enough and the latter believe it to be the initiatory steps to civil war.
The 7th and 69th regiments have volunteered their services for the defence of Washington.
The war news creates profound sensation. The unanimous sentiment of the State is, that the position assumed by the government must be maintained.
An impromtu meeting of the influential
WASHINGTON,14.
The President will issue tomorrow a proclamation, calling for 75,000 militia to suppress combinations in the seceded States, and to cause the laws to be duly executed.
The first, duty will probably be to reposses the forts that have been seized from the Union.
CHICAGO, 14.
The news of the surrender of Fort Sumter created a profound sensation. It was first discredited but when later dispatches arrived confirming previous reports the excitement increased.
All parties express a determination to uphold the government in enforcing the laws and maintaining tho supremacy of the natioual flag. ~.

object of this threatened foray is undobtediy plunder for the men concerned in it arc of a class who have no sympathies with the Union, and profess to care nothing about the success of the secessionists. In view of'these pending dangers, President Lincoln ha3 communicated to the governors of the free States who have recently visited him and offered aid in holding the forts, desiring them to call out the militia of their respective States and bold them in readiness to obey marching orders. Gov. Morton, of this State, is one of the officials referred to, and we should not be surj rised 'o hear of a call upon the people of Indiana within a very short time for troops.—Lafayette Courier, 11 th.

©"Evt'rybody recollects the diamond wedding of the rich old Cub in and tho New York belle. A rcccut letter from Cuba says:
It may interest our fair readers to remember that. Havana is tho home of Signor Ove:do, the hero of tho diamond wedding. Here he is known as a mulatto, at least half black, and he is said to be a Blue Beard for brutality. He is rich but as he and his bride are of course excluded from !lgood society, his weal can hardly compensate his lady for the slights and seclu iions to which her life is hcnccforth destined. A sad and dearly bought conclusion of so brilliant a bridal.

We are st m'nglcd amazement and indignation. Th 1 icy announced in the proclamation drs:rvcs the unqialified condemnation of everv American c.ii* zen. It is unworthy not merely of a statesman but of a man. It is a policy utterly iiair-br incl and ruinous. If Mr. Lincoln I contemplated this policy in the inauguial address, h" is a ruilt\ dissembler if ho has conceived it under the exeitcmcnt raised by the scizi re of Fort Sumter, ho is a guil-y In ts ur. In either case he is miserably in fi for ihc exalted pisition in which the cn 'mies of the country havo I laced him. Let the ple instantly fako him and his administration into their own* hands if they would rescue the lain! from bloodshed and the Union from sudden and irretrievable destruction.

I\ ('91 Alt IIABBUK. Sinco the announcement by telegraph that throe shots were fired into a schooner from Morris Islaud, in Charleston harbor on Friday night last, there has been considerable public anxie'y to learn what vessel it was, and her busiricsi in the harbor. We learn from a Baltimore exchange that it was a little New Jersey schooner, and that the shots were fired at her for attempting to run into the port with a cargo of ice. One ball went- through the lutio craft, but, luckily for her, she was not disabied nor sunk. The cip:ain, disgusted with his reception, put out to st-a again, although a violent gale wa.j blowing. This act is supposed to lirne occasioned the message of ijor .Anderson to Governor Pickens, which was announced in the Courier on the evening of the occurrence, as having gone into Charleston under covor of fing of truce.
